My Ride: 2004 545i, Sport and Premium package, Titanium Silver with Black Dakota Leather interior
Johny, nice story, shitty video. No way of knowing from the video that you were even close to Vegas or how long you were actually going 160mph. That being said... I am shocked at how many "police officers" are on this forum. On the daily news and in my personal drives I see nothing but "slow" idiots pulling out in front of oncoming traffic, and "big rig" fatalities. Never seen bimmer fatalaties for driving 160. Know your limits and do you.

"...Never seen bimmer fatalaties for driving 160."
This site and the internet, in general, is filled with numerous examples of fatal BMW crashes at much lower speeds. Poor Johny, needs nor deserves any encouragement. Shocked? You ought to see what pieces of a human body look like when you're collecting them from the top of a 20 foot tree. News Flash -- sometimes it's hard to identify the car model, when it's in 300+ twisted bloody pieces scattered over an acre of wooded property. Many young men like Johny have made parents lives a living hell because they thought they knew their "limits." What obscene B.S.

I have to agree with sy1616.
I'm not a heartless person, BUT, in these circumstances, it makes my blood boil. You actually had the nerve to drive at that sort of speed with a person, sorry a GIRL, in the back asleep? Do you have a brain? Actually don't answer that. It's blatantly obvious that you don't as you were doing 160mph, with a girl asleep in the back, in the pitch black and driving with ONE hand whilst taking the video with the other? You my friend, are an IDIOT! Grow the hell up... and FAST before you kill someone with your stupid and irresponsible driving.
If you want to do that sort of speed, you do it on a track not the f***ing public road.
Sad thing about this, is that i'm 23, and i'm probably talking to someone older than me, who, in theory, should be a lot more sensible than myself behind the wheel. Just glad he hasn't got an M5 like myself, he'd probably have killed someone already.

First off for all those people out there who were worried about my tire pressure it is because I have 20" Maya RM1's with Toyo T1R's that don't have TPMS
